There seems to be a slight loss of texture without but no loss of flavours as far as I can tell. You could use a little cold diced butter or shortening, I should think. <br /><br />Debra ~ I hope, if you make these, they do taste like your mother-in-laws, she probably didn't use Ameretto. My mother used to use sherry. <br /><br />Linnhe ~ so you're a mince pie kinda girl too, huh? Actually, I added red wine this year in hommage to your mulled wine pears, and it works really well, so thanks!<br /><br />Nick ~ I have had some very good commercial ones in the past, and I certainly wouldn't say no to one that's offered. I think I probably just like baking and so need to justify the time it takes!<br /><br />Nanu ~ ooh, do let me know if you make them and what you think. They're not that different, in flavour, to those dense, fruity confections the Italians are so good at.<br /><br />Denise ~ really? Butchers sell it here, for pennies. As fewer people use it, though, for health reasons (misguided in my opinion, but that's another story) I can see it disappearing, and then reappearing as a retro treat!<br /><br />Carole ~ originally they contained meat here too, but I've never had them and, quite frankly, think they sound horrid. <br /><br />MJ ~ ain't that so!<br /><br />Kim ~ I bet Maggie makes fabulous mince pies, as she does everything.Erylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008344023000459577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463471462522424732.post-30781460650459516152010-12-23T10:24:31.648+00:002010-12-23T10:24:31.648+00:00Aaaaarrgglllee... slobber...Aaaaarrgglllee... slobber...Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463471462522424732.post-43848138247260858082010-12-23T10:22:27.145+00:002010-12-23T10:22:27.145+00:00Flaccidity is always disappointing, isn't it?Flaccidity is always disappointing, isn't it?The Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109289531733623207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463471462522424732.post-7672191126566686782010-12-23T10:19:58.643+00:002010-12-23T10:19:58.643+00:00Looks delicious.
